Flights to Geneva

Geneva

A glistening gem, set on the shores of picturesque Lake Geneva, surrounded by wondrous mountainous peaks. This cosmopolitan city may not be Switzerland’s largest but it certainly makes a long lasting impression.

Situated on Europe’s largest Alpine Lake, many of Geneva’s most popular attractions revolve around its waterfront, with the impressive Jet d’eau fountain and the idyllic Chateau de Chillon. A cruise on the lake is a magical way to see the unique scenery and magnificent panoramas from a new perspective. Take your time and get to know the many sides of Geneva, as it embraces the old and the new. Admire the grandeur of St Peters Cathedral, feel the world-presence at Palace de Nations and discover the chocolate shops and luxury jewellers that adorn the streets. Then get an insight into the city’s urban neighbourhoods – head west along the Rhone to the Paquis Quarter or south to trendy Carouge.
